[QUOTE="lomfs24, post: 323823, member: 20987"] Just new to this forum so thanks everyone who makes sites like these possible. I am in a similar boat to the original poster. I have recently started down the path to long range shooting. I would like to know the math basics as well. However, I really will probably never use these in hunting scenarios. I would like to know the math so that I can build a program or spreadsheet. The problem that I have with all the software I have looked at so far is that you fill in variables and then it will tell you the drops. Including current zero altitude etc... What I would like to build is a program where you have a set group of variables that are locked in. For instance when I shoot a great group at the range on a certain day. I can lock in a set of variables. Then the next time I go out or I go to a different area then I can enter those variables and the program will calculate against the past go give me a good set of drops for current conditions. Without having to sero my rifle again with current conditions. For instance. Locked variables would be Temp 60 degrees, at 1500 ft above sea level with 40% humidity etc... zeroed at 200. Then I move to 6000ft at 85 degrees and it would give me new drops without having to rezero at 200. Is that even possible? Or would that be asking too much? [/QUOTE]
